A lively, hand-drawn italic with brushlike strokes and irregular, scratchy contours. Letterforms lean forward with a bouncy baseline, uneven proportions, and frequent tapering terminals that suggest quick marker or rough pen movement. Counters and bowls are loosely formed—often with interior loops or spiral-like details—while strokes show intermittent wobble and slight thickness variation. The overall rhythm is energetic and inconsistent in a deliberate way, creating a raw, sketched texture across both uppercase and lowercase.
Well-suited to posters, gig flyers, album/mixtape artwork, and packaging where a rough, expressive voice is desired. It can also work for logos or short brand phrases that benefit from an informal, handmade signature. Best used for display sizes rather than long passages, where the textured outlines and decorative interiors may reduce readability.
The font reads as mischievous and playful, with a DIY, doodled attitude that feels more like street lettering than polished calligraphy. Its quirky inner details and jittery edges add a light sense of chaos, giving headlines a cheeky, offbeat character.
Likely designed to capture the immediacy of fast, improvised handwriting—combining italic motion, rough edges, and doodle-like interior details to produce a distinctive, characterful display texture.
Uppercase characters are bold in silhouette and sometimes embellished, while lowercase forms remain narrow and lively, reinforcing a hand-rendered feel. Numerals follow the same informal logic, with open, looping shapes and a slightly cartoonish charm. At smaller sizes, the distressed edges and interior flourishes can visually accumulate, so it tends to look best when given room to breathe.
